They are most notably associated with the city of Jerusalem, which was originally called Jebus. The Jebusites are first mentioned in the Table of Nations in <a href="/genesis/10-16.htm">Genesis 10:16</a>, where they are listed as descendants of Canaan, the son of Ham. This places them among the original inhabitants of the land of Canaan, which God promised to the descendants of Abraham. Historical Background The Jebusites are described as a strong and resilient people who inhabited the hill country, particularly the area around Jerusalem. In <a href="/joshua/15-63.htm">Joshua 15:63</a>, it is noted that the tribe of Judah could not drive out the Jebusites from Jerusalem: "But the descendants of Judah could not drive out the Jebusites who lived in Jerusalem. So to this day, the Jebusites live there with the descendants of Judah." This indicates their significant fortifications and the strategic importance of their city. Biblical References The Jebusites are mentioned in several key biblical passages. In <a href="/genesis/15-18.htm">Genesis 15:18-21</a>, God makes a covenant with Abram, promising him the land of various tribes, including the Jebusites: "On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, 'To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates—the land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites, Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaites, Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites, and Jebusites.'" During the conquest of Canaan, the Jebusites are listed among the peoples that the Israelites were commanded to dispossess (<a href="/deuteronomy/7.htm">Deuteronomy 7:1</a>). However, their stronghold in Jerusalem remained under Jebusite control until the time of King David. David's Conquest The most significant biblical event involving the Jebusites is King David's conquest of Jerusalem. In <a href="/2_samuel/5-6.htm">2 Samuel 5:6-9</a>, David captures the city from the Jebusites and establishes it as the political and spiritual center of Israel: "Now the king and his men marched to Jerusalem against the Jebusites who inhabited the land. And the Jebusites said to David, 'You will never get in here; even the blind and lame can repel you,' thinking, 'David cannot get in here.' Nevertheless, David captured the fortress of Zion (that is, the City of David)." This conquest marked a turning point in Israelite history, as Jerusalem became the capital of the united kingdom and later the site of Solomon's Temple. Cultural and Religious Significance The Jebusites, like other Canaanite tribes, practiced a polytheistic religion that was often at odds with the monotheistic worship of Yahweh by the Israelites. Their presence in Jerusalem before David's conquest suggests that the city had a diverse cultural and religious history. The integration of the Jebusite city into Israelite society under David's rule reflects the broader theme of God's sovereignty and the fulfillment of His promises to the patriarchs. Legacy The Jebusites, though eventually absorbed into Israelite society, left a lasting legacy through their association with Jerusalem. The city's Jebusite origins are a testament to its ancient history and its central role in biblical narratives. The transformation of Jebus into Jerusalem under David's leadership symbolizes the establishment of a divinely ordained kingdom and the centralization of worship in the city that would become the spiritual heart of Israel.<a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div>JEBUS; JEBUSI; JEBUSITEje'-bus, jeb'-u-si, jeb'-u-zit (yebhuc, ha-yebhuci): "Jebus" is an old name for Jerusalem (<a href="/judges/19-10.htm">Judges 19:10, 11</a> <a href="/1_chronicles/4-5.htm">1 Chronicles 4:5</a> parallel <a href="/2_samuel/5-6.htm">2 Samuel 5:6-9</a>, "the same is Jerus"; see preceding article). "Jebusi" (literally, "Jebusite") is also used as a name for the city in the King James Version (<a href="/joshua/18-16.htm">Joshua 18:16, 28</a>; compare <a href="/joshua/15-8.htm">Joshua 15:8</a>); the Revised Version (British and American) correctly renders "Jebusite" (see JERUSALEM). "Jebusites," for the people (in the King James Version <a href="/genesis/15-21.htm">Genesis 15:21</a> <a href="/exodus/3-8.htm">Exodus 3:8, 17</a>, etc.), does not occur in Hebrew in the plural; hence, in the Revised Version (British and American) is always rendered in the singular, "Jebusite." The "Jebusite" is said in <a href="/genesis/10-16.htm">Genesis 10:16</a> <a href="/1_chronicles/1-14.htm">1 Chronicles 1:14</a> to be the 3rd son of Canaan, i.e. of the country of Canaan. Elsewhere he represents a tribe separate from the Canaanites. He stands between Heth and the Amorite (compare <a href="/numbers/13-29.htm">Numbers 13:29</a> <a href="/joshua/11-3.htm">Joshua 11:3</a> <a href="/ezekiel/16-3.htm">Ezekiel 16:3, 15</a>). In the lists of the peoples inhabiting Palestine the "Jebusite" is always placed last, a fact indicative, probably, of their smaller number. To what race the Jebusites belonged is doubtful. Their name does not seem Semitic, and they do not make their appearance till after the patriarchal period. The original name of Jerusalem was Babylonian, Uru-Salim, "the city of Salim," shortened into Salem in <a href="/genesis/14-18.htm">Genesis 14:18</a> and in the inscriptions of the Egyptian kings Ramses II and Ramses III. In the Tell el-Amarna Letters (1400 B.C.) Jerusalem is still known as Uru-Salim, and its king bears a Hittite name, implying that it was at the time in the possession of the Hittites. His enemies, however, were closing around him, and one of the tablets shows that the city was eventually captured and its king slain. These enemies would seem to have been the Jebusites, since it is after this period that the name "Jebus" makes its appearance for the first time in the Old Testament (<a href="/judges/19-10.htm">Judges 19:10, 11</a>). The Jebusite king at the time of the conquest was Adoni-zedek, who met his death at Beth-boron (<a href="/joshua/10-1.htm">Joshua 10:1</a>; in <a href="/joshua/10-5.htm">Joshua 10:5</a> the word "Amorite" is used in its Babylonian sense to denote the inhabitants of Canaan generally). The Jebusites were a mountain tribe (<a href="/numbers/13-29.htm">Numbers 13:29</a> <a href="/joshua/11-3.htm">Joshua 11:3</a>). Their capital "Jebus" was taken by the men of Judah and burned with fire (<a href="/nasb/judges/18.htm">Judges 18</a>), but they regained possession of, and held, the fortress till the time of David (<a href="/2_samuel/5-6.htm">2 Samuel 5:6</a>). When Jerusalem was taken by David, the lives and property of its Jebusite inhabitants were spared, and they continued to inhabit the temple-hill, David and his followers settling in the new City of David on Mt. Zion (<a href="/joshua/15-8.htm">Joshua 15:8, 63</a> <a href="/judges/1-21.htm">Judges 1:21</a>; <a href="/judges/19-11.htm">Judges 19:11</a>). And as Araunah is called "king" (<a href="/2_samuel/24-23.htm">2 Samuel 24:23</a>), we may conclude that their last ruler also had been lowed to live. His name is non-Sem, and the various spellings of it (compare <a href="/1_chronicles/21-15.htm">1 Chronicles 21:15</a>, "Ornan") indicate that the Hebrew writers had some difficulty in pronouncing it. The Jebusites seem ultimately to have blended with the Israelite population. James Orr<a name="heb" id="heb"></a><div class="vheading2">Strong's Hebrew</div><a href="/hebrew/728.htm">728.
